Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

A true solution is made up of a solute and solvent. In a true it is not possible to discern a solute from a solvent. In a colloid the solute particles are larger and they remain suspended in the solution. The particles in a colloid always remain suspended, they never settle down hence the components of a colloid cannot be separated by decantation or filtration like in case of suspension.
